"Our investment strategy continues to produce quality opportunities, with the addition of this brand new, state-of-the-art SNF, which was brought to us by Fundamental and this represents our third transaction with Fundamental since the end of last summer," says Craig M Bernfield, chairman and chief executive officer of Aviv. "We have already closed USD56m of acquisitions in 2014 and we believe Fundamental will be a part of our growth story. We executed USD241m of investments in 2013, all with quality operators, real estate, markets and disciplined valuations. Our goal is to continue to source attractive, accretive investments with new and existing high-quality operators."
